Various analysis-oriented models have been developed over the past decades to predict the
stress-strain relationship of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete. Most of these …

Previous investigations have shown that the confining stress paths (CSPs) of confined
concrete significantly affected the compressive behaviour of confined concrete in fibre …

Confinement is a sustainable and cheap approach to strengthen the older deficient or
inadequate design columns in seismic zones. There are many confinements proven to be …

Wrapping rubber sleeve around a stud shank near the root makes a low level of shear
connection between the steel girder and concrete slab in a composite girder. It helps to …

Abstrac Steel-Strapping Tensioning-Techniques (SSTT) have been proposed recently as a
confinement strategy to enhance the strength and deformation capacity of new and existing …

External confinement is an attraction technique to enhance strength and deformability of
high strength concrete. Previous research revealed that pre-tensioned confinement is an …

The potential use of recycled steel strap from packaging industry to strengthen bond
between reinforcement steel and concrete was investigated. Through a series of pull-out …

Research focusing on the effects of pre-damaged level on the effectiveness of concrete
repairing using external confinement is quite limited. In addition, the use of active …

This paper presents the experimental results of bond and anchorage behaviours under
Steel Strap Tensioning Technique (SSTT) confined high-strength concrete (HSC). The …

In the hogging moment regions of steel–concrete composite continuous girder bridges, a
detrimental condition appears such that concrete slab bears tensile stress and the steel …
